fries in my chefman air fryer are coming out soggy, not crispy

— asked by Ben

Soggy fries result from overcrowding, insufficient oil, or incorrect settings.

Fix:

  1. Batch Size: Place smaller batches in the basket. Do not overfill.
  2. Oil: Toss fries with a small amount of oil before cooking. Use no more than 2 tbsp (30 mL). An oil spray applies it evenly.
  3. Settings: Use the Air Fry function. Default is 400°F for 15 min. Shake or flip the fries halfway through cooking.

If That Didn't Work: Increase cooking time in 3-minute increments. Ensure fries are in a single layer on the crisper plate, not stacked. For frozen fries, do not thaw first.

Heads Up: This is not a deep fryer. Never fill the basket with oil. Proper air circulation is key to crispiness.
